Civil Liability Insurance
In today's litigious society your business is increasingly vulnerable to compensation claims from your customers and other members of the public.
For a small business, the consequences could be very serious, as claims often run into thousands of pounds. Towergate Professional Risks specialises in providing professional liability insurance to protect your business in the event of such a claim.
Choosing your level of cover:
The basic level of cover may be appropriate for members who are working with healthy individuals with no known medical condition. However if your work involves prescribing and advising about exercise to individuals with a known medical condition (e.g. cardiac rehabilitation, G.P. referral etc.) then you may need a higher level of cover. You are advised to consult with the insurance company if in doubt. 
Click here for further details.
The cover includes the following:
· Professional Indemnity - This relates to the advisory or therapeutic aspects of your work. If a client alleged that they had suffered a loss or injury as a result of you giving incorrect or inappropriate advice, this section of the policy would apply.
· Public Liability - This section relates to your liabilities for any loss or injury arising out of the non-advisory aspects of your work. For example, you might accidentally leave a briefcase lying around which a client could trip over, injuring themselves in the process.
· Products Liability - If as part of your job you sell or provide any products to your customers, this section of the policy will provide you with cover against any liability arising out of the use of your clients' use of the products.
· Libel & Slander - If you write articles for trade journals, magazines or websites, you could inadvertently make comments that another party considers to be defamatory against them. This section of the policy will cover you against any liability from this type of activity.
